Considering that the relevant federal authorities already declared what they consider the facts to be before having looked at the first piece of evidence, I would think that the federal investigation is 99.6% likely to be unfair.
Of course they are trying to stop prosecution of this officer, but if public pressure is high enough they can always throw him under the bus as a bad apple. But it is important to remember that he is not a bad apple. This is inevitable when you flood the streets with armed thugs with the goal of terrorizing people. ICE needs to be eliminated, don't let them make this about only one of the thugs.
I find it ironic when these organizations use the "bad apple" argument. The term comes from the adage, "One bad apple spoils the whole bunch", so if you concede that you have bad apples, you concede that your entire organization is corrupt.
Logic is beautiful.
More likely they won't do a damn thing. Throwing even one under the bus will probably do two things: temper the campaign of terror (they want people to be afraid) and create distrust among the loyal footsoldiers. Trump, but mostly Miller, want ICE to look but also feel invincible because they'll be needed in the future to amp up the terror at least 5x when elections close in. The only things that can stop ICE are Trump (won't happen), Congress (won't happen), the courts (not holding my breath), or us.
Agree
"...fairness..."
Most transparent administration ever. We see what you're doing.
Why let them take control of the investigation? I'm pretty sure the assailant is a MN native. Arrest him and build the case. He clearly violated operating procedure and plenty of witnesses will testify against him.
The issue is whether he's in MN anymore. I'm sure for "safety reasons" he's out threatening people in TX or Oregon or whatever.
Put out a warrant for his arrest, and a reward for turning him in. He'll check into some hotel somewhere and the desk clerk will drop a dime on him for the reward. I would. They're only sending these people to Blue states, so that state will probably be cooperative in picking him up and extraditing him, while the Feds HOWL!
"Alarmed"
I'm going to share a little secret with some of y'all. FBI investigations have never exactly been Fair. It's always been a corrupt broken Institution.
The title first read to me: Leaders alarmed at how fair the investigation is (I.e. they want it to be unfair)
What I'm reading is that these leaders are alarmed about the fairness of an investigation meanwhile they have thousands of these masked goons running around their streets unchecked which should be the real source of alarm.
Gov Walz and Mayor Frey have both been quiet alarmed about the goons since they showed up.
They’re also perfectly capable of multitasking so it’s fine.
Agree. I paused and thought “did they mean unfairness?”
Uh, read better.
